Family law is a very personal law -- and perhaps the best way to know if a family law attorney is right for you is to read what former clients have to say about their overall experience. Below we have collected a number of client testimonials and client reviews that will hopefully give you a better idea of what it is like to work with us as you navigate your divorce, child custody case, property division agreement, or domestic violence case.

Molly and her staff supported me completely through a drawn out divorce. My ex and his lawyer did everything they could to bleed me dry and drag the proceedings out. Of course, not everything went my way, and Molly told me in advance what the courts typically did in my situation. Every thing she advised me of was right on the money, as far as what the court did. That experience was invaluable. Molly is extremely compassionate and professional. I highly recommend her.

Molly is great! She helped me get through a difficult divorce. Guided me with assurance and helped me see the "process" as just that, "a process". Her staff was always available and friendly. I never had to wait more than a few hours for a response, whether it was an e-mail or phone call. I always felt like I was in good hands - she's a fighter and doesn't get intimated by opposing counsel - no matter who it might be!!!

Just a short note to thank you for your work yesterday. Though a potentially unpleasant experience, your professionalism, alert attention to detail, and wise guidance, made the mediation process bareable. Actually, now that we are on the other side of the process, and I have had time to review the final outcome, we are both much more relaxed and positive about moving forward into the future. Your experience, obvious love of the job, and good sense of the issues made the difference. Thank you.

Honestly, I'm still shocked and unable to process what happened. After exposing my raw emotions to the court and spending seven days surrounded by his disturbed energy, I am emotionally exhausted. Even so, thanks to you ... I see light shining in the distance!
All I know is, I'm profoundly grateful for everything you've done to help me. From day one, you treated me with respect and dignity which speaks volumes about your integrity and personal character. You stood by my side, defending me without judgment for two solid years.
Watching you work the courtroom with such fearlessness, strength, and intelligence was very empowering and inspiring to watch. You have served as a role model in my life with traits I'd love to harness and expand upon within myself while I continue to embrace the healing process.
Thank you Molly! You are a beautiful human being!!!!

Stacey Smythe was highly recommended by two of my friends who had used her in their divorce. She was very compassionate, supportive and professional at one of the lowest times in my life. All the legal stuff that comes along with a divorce can be very confusing and she took the time to make sure I understood the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a good attorney for divorce, child custody or estate planning.

What I loved about Molly was her ability to always stay focused and strong throughout the entire process. Molly is a woman of few, but very strong words . No matter how much Tom "waived his saber" Molly would stay on point - only discussing/addressing the issues while ignoring all the side chatter, threats, etc. Her reputation was that she could stand up to strong men. She sure proved that to be true in my case!
Molly uses her knowledge of the law and the rules to keep on a straight and narrow path. She had this wonderful way of responding to Tom and his bullshit with short, swift answers. As frustrating as it was for him - she always remained in control of the situation.
In spite of the many protestations by the asshole, we were awarded everything we asking for in the divorce decree, on our terms, with the judge using all of Molly's language and none of Tom's.
One of the best things of all was Molly's way of reassuring my. Every time I started to feel distressed and depressed, she would say just the right thing to put me at ease.
Obviously I can't say enough about Molly! I love, admire and respect her.

It's hard to describe how I felt in the 90 minutes I spent with her, but as I was leaving I was a bit overwhelmed by how content and positive I felt. She just has this warmth and confidence about her that makes you feel so safe. I have been so confused wading through the chaos and shock of my life over the past 5+ years, I've begun to doubt by own decision making. I just know that she is the one.

I had Tatyana as my attorney for almost six months, and had two others prior to her for another six with a very difficult case on my hands. If your case is difficult, and opposing party is very aggressive, Tatyana would do great job!
She is very practical and does not waste any time responding to crappy claims or getting into countless email conversations with the opposing party. She is very responsive and professional. She was able to achieve for me what other two attorneys were not, and she has done it with the at-most efficiency. At the end I felt that I ended up with a great deal that was truly fair, and she was able to resolve multiple difficult issues. Many thanks to her, great attorney, and great representation for man.

Many years ago, I was accused of a serious crime. At the time I was a drug addict and didn't see a lot of hope. Then I hired Wil Miller. Wil didn't just do an amazing job convincing the prosecutor to give me a second chance by letting me go to rehab instead of prison; Wil also convinced me I was capable of recovering from my addiction. After I was clean and sober for ten years, I hired Wil again when my marriage was ending. Wil got me through my very difficult divorce, emotionally and financially intact. Wil’s dedication, compassion and knowledge of the law, are exceptional. He is a first rate lawyer and a great person. I can’t recommend him strongly enough.

I retained Molly after having worked briefly with a lawyer who did not have Family Law experience. What a stark contrast! Molly knows Family Law inside and out. She is brilliant, quick and classy. Not only did she help me navigate a very difficult, high conflict divorce and subsequent parenting plan modification, she taught me how to stand up for myself and my children in a calm, strong way. She is a true advocate and one of the smartest women I know. Her assistant attorney Kate McMahan is also very bright, capable and responsive. Anyone needing a divorce lawyer would be well-served being represented by Molly's firm.

I met and interviewed close to 10 attorneys before deciding on who to retain. When I met with Molly, I knew that this was the person that I wanted to represent me.
She is articulate, well spoken, responsive, fast and highly efficient. I knew with Molly my time nor money would be wasted. Molly did a fantastic job helping me to understand potential options- and always had my best interest at heart. Molly and her team exceeded my expectations on every front, she is the best you can hire! I would highly recommend Molly.

Just finished a hearing to change the parenting plan for my daughter. Not only did we win, we won all minor motions as well. She was very organized and prepared, and a warm caring human being. And very driven. I have used 3 other family law lawyers, they were ok. But only Molly really went to bat for me. Wonderful office staff as well.

I really appreciate the help you gave me. It wasn't just the details of the dissolution and your advice, but also the assurance that if I really needed help, you were close by and would help keep me on track. That was really important when I was struggling to find some point of stability in the chaotic nightmare I was living. Thank you.

I want to thank you for your help yesterday. At times I feel like David versus Goliath when it comes to this divorce and my husband's endless resources. Your confidence has calmed me to the point that last night I fell asleep and slept a full eight hours! What a relief! Thank you again.

Ms. Kenny was superb in helping get a judgment for back child support against an out-of-state father. This was after all the state agencies who are supposed to help collect child support in both WA and CA said they had no authority over the matter. We've also used her in another matter and we found her to be an excellent attorney and were completely satisfied with the outcome.

Once I made the life altering decision to file for divorce, I did my homework on attorneys and varying philosophies and styles. I talked to friends, and friends of friends. In the end, I narrowed my search to 4 attorneys - all of whom came highly recommended. But when I met Molly, I just knew she was "the one." Divorce is an extremely personal and painful process. I knew I needed a real partner, someone with both sensitivity and mental toughness - and I got that in Molly. She is a true problem solver who cares deeply about her clients and their families - as if they were her family too.

Molly was a big help to me through a very difficult divorce. She is insightful, compassionate and experienced. My former husband began to create a great deal of conflict and was abusive - and Molly knew just how to handle him. She guided me through the many difficult decisions I had to make. If you are facing a divorce or separation, I highly recommend you call Molly.

Molly Kenny has integrity, humor and intellect. Molly made it very clear to me that she was my advocate. This was quite refreshing because in past dealings with two other attorneys, my experience was that I was their cash cow. I went to her quite worried and upset, and left the meeting relieved. In the four months of our engagement, I was empowered. The decisions I made, with Molly's advice, were the best I could have made. I would hire Molly again if the need arose, and recommend her to everyone who needs an attorney.

I just went through a very difficult divorce and I am so grateful that I had Molly by my side during such a painful ordeal. I had family and friends in two camps - one that said, "don't worry, everything will be okay," and one that said, "worry about everything, nothing will be okay." That added more stress to my already stressed mind. Molly brought skill and common sense into the situation. We discussed what I should pay attention to and what was better ignored. It brought balance into the chaos of divorce. Knowing that she was paying close attention to all the legal details allowed me to focus on healing emotionally. As a result, by the time the divorce was over, I was financially and emotionally ready to move forward with my life. I can't say thank you enough.
